Our aim was to determine the prevalence of multidrug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii and other pathogens at a tertiary-care teaching hospital in Mexico over a 3-year period. Clinical isolates… (More)

Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are increasingly recognized to cause clinically significant infections, with S. epidermidis often cited as the third most common cause of nosocomial sepsis.… (More)

The aim of this study was to determine the clinical characteristics, molecular epidemiology and biofilm production of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates obtained from a tertiary-care hospital… (More)

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an important multidrug-resistant nosocomial pathogen associated with high mortality. Our aim was to examine antimicrobial susceptibility, biofilm production and clonal… (More)

BACKGROUND
Acinetobacter baumannii is 1 of the most important nosocomial pathogens and the causative agent of numerous types of infections, especially in intensive care units (ICUs). Our aim was to… (More)

The mechanisms contributing to persistence of coagulase-negative staphylococci are diverse; to better understanding of their dynamics, the characterization of nosocomial isolates is needed. Our aim… (More)

BACKGROUND
Among Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (CoNS), Staphylococcus hominis represents the third most common organism recoverable from the blood of immunocompromised patients. The aim of this… (More)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE
Clostridium difficile NAP1/ribotype 027 is associated with severe disease and high mortality rates. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of NAP1/ribotype 027 among C.… (More)
